don't beat yourself up for only finishing two books - Delirium took me a while to get through too. I hope you enjoyed it :)

What about the Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner? Lots of royalty and kingdom politics :)

Great list!

I thought Harmony sounded really cool. Just ordered it for my library. I also see that you have Good Omens in your TBR pile!!! LOVE that book :D

My recent post I win! \o-

This book sounds a bit like a tear-jerker. I have it on order at my library so am hoping to read it soon.

I really loved Across the Universe by Beth Revis this month. Most disappointing was probably Matched by Ally Condie. You can see the rest of what i read here :)

Great post! I agree with everything you've said and want to echo that co-op programs or internships are amazing. I did my co-op at an academic librarian and realized that I'd rather be a public librarian and now I'm a happy teen librarian. So even though the co-op job wasn't directly related to my job, it helped me realize what I wanted to do and gave me practical library experience doing things like reference.

So, yes. if you don't have library experience, try to find a co-op.

The other thing that I did while in library school when I figured out that I wanted to be a teen librarian is that I called up the local library and got in touch with their teen librarian. I sat in on her TAG group, chatted with her, and learned a lot of great stuff. If you have a job that you think you want, find out who is in that job and what it's like. Librarians are helpful people and love talking to future librarians :)
